Q43 · Physics

A parallel plate capacitor of capacitance 20 μF is being charged by a voltage source whose potential is changing at the rate of 3 V/s. The conduction current through the connecting wires, and the displacement current through the plates of the capacitor, would be, respectively :

  1. 1zero, 60 μA
  2. 260 μA, 60 μAOfficial answer
  3. 360 μA, zero
  4. 4zero, zero

Official answer: option 2 · NTA final answer key
